Can anyone know to say if is too difficult to do the drop in this wave and to do the duckfeet? I am a beginner - intermediate and I have a dream of to visit this paradise. God bless you all

Makes me wonder the wisdom of believing the 'Hawaiians invented surfing." After being fed twenty years of SURFER Magazine telling the world this, the sport would be better if this was the venue and not Ala Moana.

gspainhour - 7 years ago

I'd like to see someone try to surf that wave on an old Koa board. Also, Ala Moana (the wave) didn't exist back when the Hawaiian royalty were surfing.

Philip Lohrey - 7 years ago

Looks super fun. Nothing better than surfing with close friends. How shallow is the reef if u don't make the take off? Looks heavy.

I'm not a person who usually writes something under videos on Youtube, but after reading some comments I lost faith in humanity. I don't understand why you guys have to try to be so badass and show off. It's ok that you surf, it's ok that people make mistakes, it's okay that there are new people who want to learn how to surf and clearly are not as good as you claim to be (I don't think u r all John John Florence out there). If u get angry for such little things let me tell you that you have some problems and you should go talk with somebody who could give you help.
Being that I know how fucking internet works, I know that you'll try to say "u made mistakes, learn English better blablabla" (it's not my mother tongue btw). And yeah, I'm waiting for the angry folks to insult me. I'm gonna grab some popcorns.
Chill guys, life's too short to be a bitch.

Sugarsail1 - 6 years ago

Because surfers are generally dicks, even though surfing itself is cool....surfers do not represent all of humanity. A lot of bicyclists are dicks too, they wear gay-glo advertising on their clothes while blocking traffic and looking at each others butts. Same kind of dbaggery.

G Ste - 7 years ago

surfers are just salty af. the majority feel like they are superior to others for some reason.

D'OH! Mmmmm... Douuuughnutss.... ^^ - 7 years ago

+ScarletRoseLikeBlood and +rene iribarren You are both so correct. It would be nice if all surfers though as you two do; surfing is all about being at peace with the sea and yourself and enjoying the ocean, not making it a war for waves.

Lemon - 7 years ago

rene iribarren I totally agree with your answer. And thank you for explaining your point of view :) I wish there were a lot more people in the water like you

rene iribarren - 7 years ago

Half agree with you, yes there is no point of fighting over one wave but dropping on a guy barreling is extremely dangerous they can crash and these waves have sharp reefs underneath, also the problem with been ok with drops is that if you do nothing they'll keep doing it as if they are doing nothing wrong, I don't fight over a wave but I do speak up and try to educate the new generations, the 1st drop I'll give u a friendly warning the 2nd drop and you will have to see the barrels from the sand. if you want your own barrel you'll have to go deeper than me ;)

Lemon - 7 years ago

Amen brother ahah

gspainhour - 7 years ago

Is the sermon over?

Lemon - 7 years ago

Btw, I'm not justifying those who dropped in on the guy getting barreled. It would annoy everyone. I'm just saying that there's too much rage around. People do shit all the time and beginners are everywhere (and they probably don't understand the rules of surfing yet), so what's the use of raging etc? But that's my point of view and I am a very very calm person. I prefer to let things go instead of quarreling and ruining the experience. That's it

Lemon - 7 years ago

Actually, I perfectly understand the rules of surfing. But still I can't understand such comments full of hatred. The thing I hate most about surfing (a sport that I love and I travel to practice) is all the people who get fucking angry for a wave. That's it. There are many different ways to express disappointment, and the majority of people use the most useless and stupid way :) Peace!

Adam Heckenberg - 7 years ago

ScarletRoseLikeBlood I don't think you understand surfing then. as much as it's a retreat and it truly is for everyone, there are spoken and unspoken rules for it. A well spoken rule, is you don't fucking drop in on a guy getting barreled. you don't do it. And there's something to be said if you do it on mediocre waves in central california, but picture perfect glossy barrels? you don't fucking kook around there. you got people there who are there to surf.

brian scott - 8 years ago

HT's is the real deal. Was there in the 90's the first place we hit. The reef at the take off isn't called "surgeons table" for nothing and a great motivator not to eat shit. I got the wave of my trip at that place.

Erick Tulus - 8 years ago

i love this place so much,, if i have much money,, i will go there

Tom Cloke - 7 years ago

momentum I paddled for a wave with a dude on a lid in the barrel and crumbled it, lucky I was staying with him so there wasn't too much animosity but yeah probably not the best thing to do

Tim Currey - 6 years ago

1. Richness doesn't always leave you to loneliness and 2. why are you telling me that??? tell NorthOCkook

Jesus Saves Bro - 6 years ago

Tim Currey richness will lead you to a path of loneliness

Tim Currey - 6 years ago

You don't need to be rich to surf all you need is a cheap board or just hire one.
